Movie Reviews

Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 6/10 by Dennis SchwartzFails to deliver the required action for a western.
Variety - 6/10 by Variety StaffFilm is loaded with very superior acting and spectacular imaginative photography.
The New Republic - 4/10 by Shirley O'HaraIt seems wasteful to let two such good, attractive actors wander through a lavish production like thoroughbred somnambulists.
User Review - 10/10 by 'Amber LI love this film. Very important message about the farming practices that had been learned by the time ths film was made. Plowing up the grasses on the plains in Oklahoma had contibuted to the mass migration of the Okies in the lates 20's and early 30's. Watch Ken Burns film on this topic, and you will see how relevent the story is in this film, especially Tracy's explanation in the early scenes at the court trial.
User Review - 6/10 by Rick QEpic ; interesting to admire the couple Tracy/Hepburn in a western movie rather than in sophisticated comedies
